A dropp in the ocean,
It disturbs the motion
Of the world, that spins in time to the sound
Of nature’s intention,
And all our prevention
Just proves that we have our heads in the ground.
Does our earth recall
How grand, above all,
A design that it was before we intervened?
To whet our desire
For objects of higher
Importance than keeping our planet in “green.”
In each passing day
We gamble away
The clarity that was mother earth’s plan,
And when it’s too late
To turn back her fate,
Maybe we’ll see the damage of man.
